In a short video, Quebec Solidaire co-spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois mocks the Legault government’s offer to public sector workers, unveiled on Sunday morning, which could provoke an indefinite strike.

A few hours before Halloween, Mr. Nadeau-Dubois parodies on X (formerly Twitter) Prime Minister François Legault by handing out sweets on the evening of October 31st.
In this satire, Mr. Legault, played by GND, is very generous towards the leaders of state-owned companies and the deputies of the National Assembly, but when the public sector employees show up, there are no sweets left, the bowl is empty!
“Happy Halloween, eh… Nice distribution, Mr. Legault,” writes the leader of the second opposition group.
This parody has already received 19,000 views in just two hours.
Recall that earlier in the day, the Common Front brushed aside Treasury President Sonia LeBel’s improved offer, calling the offer “ridiculous.”
The standoff between management and unions representing public sector workers could lead to a first half-day strike scheduled for November 6th.
